No, the 2012 and 2014 wouldn't be cancelled but they're proposing NHL players not be allowed to attend.

Makes sense from a business standpoint....Players are going overseas and risking injury and not getting paid to do so. I don't think GM's and Owners like that very much.

So basically, Belarus will get to host the 2014 WHC,their first ever which they are already preparing now, but the fans there will see 0 NHL players there. Not even Mikhail Grabovski or the Kostitsyn´s will get the chance to play on home ice.
